from janell: i take this to mean that jelly bracelets are SO passe. For the full details and meaning stated in the article, check out the big image.
I was very very very upset visiting the Target on Elston last night. The master plan was to get kitty litter and paper towels, and then pick up some food from the "TacoHut" (Taco Bell & Pizza Hut combined). Instead, the entire food section was boxed up with a big Starbucks logo on it. I cried. I was pissed. What an injustice. Jokingly, I said "Watch, they'll take out the Taco Bell to make room for the Starbucks, just like the crappy Target on Addison" (which our household is boycotting for 3 months for reasons unrelated to the lack of a Taco Bell). We paid, started walking to the door, when my sister burst out laughing. A building permit on the wall specifically stated "Remove Taco Bell, Install Starbucks Facilities".
Damn you Starbucks! Why do you spite me!!!!
We decided that Taco Bell must have found out that Pizza Hut was having a hot affair with Starbucks at the other Target, and called it quits. Further research proves otherwise:
"In select Pizza Hut multibrand sites, Pizza Hut’s delivery staff will begin delivering food made by its sister brands, which include Taco Bell and KFC."
The day when I can have 2 bean burritos with extra sauce and onions delivered right to my front door will be the greatest day of my entire existance.
uh, how did i miss the "target deemed coolest place in the world by hipster elite, dogs, and some albino snakes?" [ link via gawker ]
Of course, within a month of me buying my iPod, they come out with 4th gens that have 4 hours extra battery life and cost a cool hundo less. bah!
In related iPod news, turns out I went to the wrong college
bag borrow or steal, perhaps the awesomest idea ever. About 1000 designer bags that you borrow, style with, then return for a new one. Just like netflix. Awesome
Tonya gave me an article that she read in the Lerner News Star about food blogs in Chicago, which says "Eatchicago.net has an attractive setup"
Ah, hell ya. It is important to note that it was the only blog referenced in the whole article that they commented on it's appearance. why? because it is a SEXY MOFO!

Am I the only one who notices ANON's con game? Ever notice how there are a zillion postings for ANON? Everyone gather around the campfire and listen to his hilarious reasons and excuses to purchase seats cheap and then sell them much higher on Craigs List!

Uh, yeah. Maybe because "anonymous" is what craigslist uses to anonymize your reply to email address. It's too bad he didn't choose to anonymize his reply to, or the posting itself would have been made by anonymous. But maybe mr. fruitloop stupid pants is right, and it is some big Cubs ticket conspiracy. idiot.

spam is so weird. their is all this voodoo for trying to subvert spam filters. but here is one that i just don't understand at all. i got an email that was trying to sell me software at 70% off, and had an image describing this great and hard to pass up deal. but this is the text that was included in the email...
"Indeed, inside toothache give secret financial aid to anomaly living with.tripod inside food stamp takes a coffee break, but roller coaster defined by cream puff find lice on near prime minister.judge about ruminates, and around industrial complex ruminates; however, support group of operate a small fruit stand with..
thesis chauncey hyena crusoe deduce thine deport despotic"
uh huh. yeah. that makes me want to buy software.
I would have love to been around when this lady decided, "You know what would be cool? A special cake for baby showers. Made out of diapers. And other baby crap. And we'll call it THE MOTHERLOAD." Genius.
like the boardgame, LIFE. bean and i have been craving a good game of LIFE, and finally found it in good condition at the thrift store. The box was in good shape, and it looked like an older version of the game. This is a big bonus, because we both loathe the newer version of the game. Of course, we get it home and it is the new version. Here is a break down of old school LIFE vs. new school LIFE
|
old school LIFE (rocks!) money for your kids at retirement gifts for getting married gifts for having babies |
new school LIFE (sucks!) crappy job and salary selection process need to pay other players for landing on their "career" spaces "LIFE" tiles |

I think my iPod is human. It is very very smart and seems to know exactly what to do ALL THE TIME. for example...
we went camping up in Wisconsin this weekend (pictures later today, unless I am a total traitor butthole like Janell says) and it rained. and it was cloudy. but then around 4:00, it got perfect out. Like not a cloud in the obscenely blue sky perfect. Everyone else had gone fishing, so Bean and I decided to lay out and tan our glaringly white skin. So we found a nice grassy spot and layed out our towels and a boom box with the iPod broadcasting on 89.3. I set it for a random shuffle, and what is the first song it plays? Blondie's "Heart of Glass". It was so eighties-girlie, I felt like I was in a John Hughes movie.
i had a couple of left over gmail invites, so i gave them away to people who offered me funny stuff. here is the first thing i received. (thanks, justin)
